Haha! I was wondering "where are her bruises?"

 

Excuse me but is Brandi Chastain your long lost twin? :wave:

Brandi...


You...




Congratulations to all who went out there and gave it their best and competed. Regardless of podium or not, so long as you had fun.:beer:

wow the dirt looked awesome.... i am now contemplating doing the next dh race

 

All I need to do is get 4X into photobucket and they'll be up in a bit. I'm pretty sure DavidB got part of BigHouse's crash?
Here's the rest of that sequence as he went over...

 

Haha...I wish...she has less body fat than me

I like breeze when I'm riding if you know what I mean!

 

(Whistle sound!) That's a 2 second penalty. Shorts must be worn at all times on the DH course. Thank you! The next thing you know Orven will be breaking out his skin suits again. We don't need that!



Nice pics Keith!

 

Man, wish I could still roll out of crashes like that!

 

Funny you should say that!! Are you still training with James? He has be doing tumbling to simulate rolling when you crash. How long has it been since you've done a somersault on purpose???:lol:

 

I actually used to incorporate tumbling into my trainging, but that was a while ago. I'm just not going to hit the ground anymore! haha.

 

yup, along with most everyone else's 4X pics. i'll get the good ones up here when i get home some time tonight.

if you or anyone happens to know the plate numbers of anyone specifically just PM those to me and i'll send you the bigger version

 

Nice RR everyone. It looked like a smaller crowd this time, I guess the threat of rain kept them away. But some of those shots with all the green and the mountains in the background are pretty awesome. Fontucky never looked so good.

Sorry I didn't make it out to support you guys this time, I end up in Temecula on Sat and was hanging with the kids on Sun.

Great job everyone!

~cc

 

Funk! Is that an option???? :lol:

 

You guys/ladies need to encourage my wife to stay out longer to take more pics. Nevermind, that means I get to edit more pics.

There were so many photographers along the course yesterday. On my race run, I came in hot on one right hand corner on top all contorted and *flash*!!!! I was like DAMNIT!! That would look so bad in a picture. I didn't care whether that may have cost me some time. I'm all for looking good for the camera.

 

They just need to put a Porta Potty up in the cul de sac and then I'll be all set!

 

great job everyone! and there are some super pro photos also... I will diffenately try to snake my way out of work for the next race. :beer:

I had a fun weekend out there, my race run toatally sucked though, blew out like 5 corners or more and I found out how horribly out of shape I am. It was cool metting mechmann, allision, sdyeti, cbharping, denmother, and roger. Hopefully I'll be at the next race. Anybody have any pics of me, 742m, orange swd 216
